FAQs
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval indicates that the product has been tested and meets the high standards set for water quality, safety, and performance in the UK.
Can I use this hose with standard copper pipes?
Yes, this hose is compatible with clean, burr-free standard copper pipes when used within the Hep2O system.
What is the benefit of the braided exterior?
The braided exterior provides increased durability, protecting the hose from external damage, abrasion, and potential kinking, which helps maintain its lifespan and performance.
How long will this hose last?
Hep2O offers a 50-year guarantee on this product, reflecting its high-quality construction and expected longevity under normal operating conditions.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
No, the hose is not designed to be cut. It must be used at its supplied length of 300mm. Modifications will void the guarantee.
What is In4Sure™ technology?
In4Sure™ technology is Hep2O's patented system that ensures a secure push-fit connection. It provides a tactile confirmation (a click) when the fitting is fully home on the pipe, indicating a reliable seal has been made.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the push-fit end
Ensure the pipe end is clean, dry, and undamaged. Re-seat the fitting, pushing it firmly until fully home. If the pipe is damaged, cut back to a clean section and try again. Ensure compatibility with the Hep2O system.
Hose is leaking at the union nut end
Check that the washer is correctly seated inside the union nut. Tighten the nut slightly further, but avoid overtightening, which can damage the seal.
Difficulty pushing hose onto pipe
Verify the pipe end is clean, dry, and free from debris or deformation. Ensure you are using a Hep2O compatible pipe. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not petroleum-based) can aid insertion if needed.

- Suitable for a wide range of plumbing applications (hot/cold).
- Long 50-year guarantee provides excellent value and security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe end (copper or compatible plastic) is clean, dry, and free from burrs or scratches.
- Push the hose fitting onto the pipe end until it is fully home. The In4Sure™ technology will provide a tactile click to confirm a secure connection.
- For the union nut end, screw it onto the tap tail by hand until finger-tight, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter to half a turn, avoiding excessive force.
Compatibility:
- Designed for use with the Hep2O push-fit plumbing system.
- Compatible with copper pipes and Hep2O plastic pipes.
- Suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems.
Care:
- Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, although Hep2O fittings are designed for long-term reliability.
- Avoid exposing the hose to harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Ensure the area around the hose is free from potential damage.
